assalam o alikum!
Today is shab-e-bara'at, also known as 'lailat-ul-Mubarakah'! Its the night when ALLAH forgives sins of people and decides their fates for next year! Holy Prophet(SAW) said:'Iss raat ALLAH gharoo-b-Aftaab kay baad apni shaan kay laiq asmaan-e-dunniya par aa jata hy aur fajar tak bandoon kay qareeb rahta hy aur saari raat nada daita hy, hay koi mujh say maghfarat manganay wala kay main issay ma'af kar doon, hay koi mujh say rizq manganay wala kay main usaay rizq day doon, hay koi sawaal karnay wala kay main uss kay sawal ko poora kar doon'!!!
May ALLAH illuminate our paths with Light n Barkat! Ameen!
